Ram Nath Kovind, the Presidential candidate of NDA, and BJP national president Amit Shah will arrive in state on Saturday for campaigning. Kovind is scheduled to meet MPs and MLAs in Gandhinagar. The visits were announced by Gujarat BJP chief Jitu Vaghani. 

Earlier, Kovind and Shah were to come on Tuesday, but their visits were cancelled following the terror attack on a bus carrying Amarnath yatris from Gujarat in Anantnag district of Jammu & Kashmir. Shah was to address a public rally in Gandhinagar while Kovind was to meet MPs and MLAs. 

Vaghani said, “Gujarat BJP in-charge Bhupendra Yadav will accompany them. Kovind is coming for campaigning of Presidential polls to be held later this month. Besides MPs and MLAs, senior office-bearers of party organisation in state will remain present in this meeting. By late evening, all three leaders will return to Delhi.”

“A grand reception has been organised for Ram Nath Kovind,” added Vaghani.
